History
Boko Haram sent a 10-year-old young girl from the Muslim northern parts of Nigeria on a suicide mission to the market of the Nigerian city of Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State (which was almost entirely under their control), possibly forcing her to do so. She let off explosives wrapped around her body, killing 19 people.
